Here's a vid of me talking about the new book.

Check out the blog - there's a new story posted. It was told to me by a girl in the Store House Center in Kinshasa - a place part funded by Save the Children, which tries to reunite street children - many of whom have been accused of witchcraft - with their families. Sandra and Sandrine is great little tale, and parts of it may remind you of our own Cinderella. But unlike many European folk tales, these Congolese ones have not been softened up for the Nursery. The ending will shock you, I guarantee.

The Skinback Fusiliers, by Unknown Soldier.

Available on Amazon and currently being serialised at the Open Democracy site.  An absolute must read!

Anyone who wants to know what rea life is like in the army should read this book - especially at a time when the west is embarking on more adventures in the Middle east.
